OBTEST SIGNS A DEAL WITH THE FAMOUS FRENCH LABEL

Lithuanian pagan metal heralds strain to the worldwide music elite

OBTEST, the metal music band from Vilnius, Lithuania, already well familiar to pagan music community all over Europe, are reaching a new goal: to conquer the rest of the world. Such scope is not without reason. The band has just inked a deal with the famous French label OSMOSE PRODUCTIONS for release of a new album "Gyvybės Medis". This company specializes in heavy music industry for almost two decades now, and during that time has deservedly earned a name of one of the most influential metal labels worldwide, discovering and raising few dozens of nowadays' worldwide acclaimed artists. Such luminaries as Immortal, Enslaved, Dark Tranquillity, Marduk, Shining, Absu, Masters Hammer, Melechesh, Sigh, Vital Remains, Impaled Nazarene, Necromantia or Angelcorpse is enough to mention to realize the impact of this company in black, death, pagan or thrash metal market.

Much like the entire catalogue of French label, new OBTEST album will be distributed in music shops and via independent retailers worldwide, including Japan, Canada, Australia, USA and the entire Europe. LEDO TAKAS, long-lived label of the band, has secured an exclusive right to release and distribute new OBTEST album in the Baltic States.

"Gyvybės Medis" will be released in three different formats: digipak compact disk, picture vinyl record and collectors' A5 sized CD book. Due to peripeteia around this new deal, the release date is postponed for later time than expected before, yet it is clear and steady: the fourth OBTEST album will be born on fourth day of April, the fourth month of the year 2008. New OBTEST merchandise series will be presented at the same time.

"Such a twist in the new album publication was surprising. We have learned about it some time ago, and were pleasantly surprised. We hope that our new album will be available to all fans of the band even at the utmost ends of the earth" - comments OBTEST.

"This deal is the most significant OBTEST achievement in releasing field so far, and it is especially exciting that this pact is entered exactly with OSMOSE. It is an honour to put a unique music writing musicians in touch with publishing professionals who know their stuff. I am sure that this alliance will be versatilely beneficial, and we will live the first results pretty soon" - resumes LEDO TAKAS RECORDS chief and OBTEST manager Tadas Kazlauskas.
